Chapter 37: Something Is Wrong

Everyone present probably wanted to know the answer to this question.

However, they also knew that even if they do ask, the short and fat man would not provide an answer.

The black market could be said to be the least restrictive, but it was also most particular about rules.

Where is the background of the pudgy? Who are the authorized dealers? No one would insist on getting to the bottom of the matter. At most, they would probe him.

When the probing ends, those bargaining continue, and those who choose to leave, leave.

200,000 Great Yu dollars for a silencing device was clearly a deliberate bid to attract attention.

Now that there were many people in front of the stall, the short and fat man naturally lowered his price.

Even so, one still costs about 80,000 Great Yu dollars each.

According to the pudgy man, this price was nearing the cost price.

A silencing device could be used ten times. It was worth it.

Whether it was a loss depended on the individual.

Su Jingxing had no need for it. Besides he did not have enough Great Yu dollars on him.

Thus, he stopped in front of the stall for a while before turning around and leaving the black market.

Back at his courtyard, Su Jingxing started to gather his internal force to stimulate his dantian to break through to the seventh-grade.

He would try again and again until he was familiar with the process and had figured out the approach. Then, he would take the Wall Breaking Pill.

During this process, when it was his turn to be on duty, he would continue to work and move the corpses in peace.

After work, he would return to his small courtyard and continue to stimulate his dantian.

In Qinghe City, due to the appearance of the barbarians, the officials had started a thorough investigation.

Not only did the Martial Suppression Office and the Security Team appear everywhere, the soldiers of the Changyang Prefecture also entered the city and raided certain places from time to time.

As for the gains of this operation, Su Jingxing was unaware.

Whether the plan was to relax measures on the outside and keep tight guard on the inside, or vice versa, he did not care.

In any case, he only knew that under the joint efforts of the Martial Suppression Office, the Security Team, and the prefecture army, the number of people who had died in the city had decreased at once.

There was no more fighting, murder, assassination, or accidental death.

Only those who died of illness continued to be sent to the crematorium.

With fewer corpses, the work of Su Jingxing, Kong Dabao, and the others became easier.

During work, most of the time was spent playing cards and games.

Consequently, Su Jingxing extracted fewer cards.

Su Jingxing wasn’t in a hurry. His current goal was to reach the seventh-grade.

Before that was achieved, everything else was put aside.

After more than ten days of repeated attempts, Su Jingxing finally figured out the approach and decided to take the Wall Breaking Pill.

He chose to make his breakthrough in the later half of the night. Past midnight, the world entered a phase of silence.

Su Jingxing took out the Wall Breaking Pill and placed it aside. Then, he gathered the internal force in his dantian with familiar ease.

At a certain moment, when he felt the change in his internal force, he quickly picked up and swallowed the Wall Breaking Pill.

As soon as the special pure energy entered his abdomen, it turned into a warm current and mixed with the internal force.

After merging with each other, the cyclone formed wrapped around his dantian, beginning the cleansing and opening.

Again and again, again and again.

Until…

“Hu~”

Suddenly, there seemed to be a hole in his lower abdomen. A wisp of vital energy emerged from the hole and fused with the cyclone. It first flowed on the outside then the inside. In addition to the surface of his dantian, it flowed past even his internal organs, limbs, bones, and even his brain.

Under the cleansing of this power, the dark impurities and toxins in his body reached the surface through his skin.

In the end, that strand of vital energy returned to his dantian and fell into silence.

The ball of energy condensed from internal force was restored to its original state and filled his entire body.

Of course, compared to before, there was a tenth of the original amount of internal force left.

Although it had lessened, Su Jingxing successfully made it into the seventh-grade.

This breakthrough was perfect!

Su Jingxing was very satisfied that he managed to enter the seventh-grade at one go when he did not have anyone to guide him.

The stains on his skin were, in some ways, equivalent to an abortion.

It was said that once a martial artist reaches the third-grade, they would undergo a complete transformation.

As a result, the stronger a martial artist, the higher their realm, the more good-looking they were.

Correspondingly, their aging speed also slowed down.

Su Jingxing had never seen a martial artist above the third-grade, so he could not verify this point.

At his age, there was no need for him to consider anything else either.

Su Jingxing headed to the bathroom to take a shower and change into clean clothes.

After which, he took out the True Energy Card and prepared to unlock it and store it in his dantian.

Since his dantian had been successfully opened, he naturally had to circulate his true energy.

However, it suddenly stopped a second before it unlocked.

“No!”

Su Jingxing’s heart skipped a beat and he put down the True Energy Card as if he had been electrocuted.

“Something is wrong. There’s something wrong here!”

It was not a problem with his dantian or the True Energy Card. It was his problem.

Moving from seventh to sixth-grade was one of the three big thresholds of martial arts.

Su Jingxing was now able to advance directly to sixth-grade with a True Energy Card?

Something is amiss!

There is a 99% chance that something is wrong here. Things are definitely not that simple.

There were clear procedures to an average joe becoming a martial artist, and becoming stronger step by step.

First, one had to use his special internal exercise to condense his energy, Qi and blood into internal energy.

Only with internal force would one be considered a quasi-martial artist.

When internal force nourishes the body and boosts one’s strength to a thousand catties, he would be a ninth-grade martial artist.

To put it bluntly, the origin of internal force was the essence of the human body.

One needs to eat sumptuous meals and tonics to have ample energy.

As such, it was difficult for the poor to become martial artists.

This step was successfully substituted using the Essence Energy Pills, Strength Pills and Internal Force Cards.

Hence, Su Jingxing did not encounter any problems along the way.

However, things were different after reaching sixth-grade.

Su Jingxing had checked on the Internet and found that there were three conditions to enter the sixth-grade.

Firstly, just like internal force, one has to possess a special internal exercise that allows him to cultivate his true energy.

Secondly, one needs to find a place full of worldly energy and use it as the source of the first wisp of true energy.

That’s right, the source of true energy wasn’t the essence of the human body, but an invisible energy that filled the world.

This energy was also one of the differences between Earth Star and Earth.

It was the foundation for all martial artists to become stronger.

If there was no such energy, the highest realm of martial artists would be seventh-grade!

During the process of entering the sixth-grade, the most crucial step was to absorb worldly energy.

This step was dangerous.

Therefore, one needs a Dao Protector. Or, if his willpower was strong enough and his talent was outstanding, he could complete it by himself.

All three conditions must be met.

Su Jingxing did not check any of them and advanced with just one True Energy Card?

Impossible!

Although Su Jingxing didn’t know what the problem was, he had an intuitive feeling.

If I were to unlock the True Energy Card just like that, it would only be a waste.

Three years of True Energy cultivation well is a trump card if employed well.

It is a pity to waste it.

At this thought, Su Jingxing took a deep breath and put away the True Energy Card.

Before this, he had relied on himself to reach the seventh-grade.

He had to think carefully about how to proceed from here.

Reason being, the wrong path would put him on a detour. In serious cases, one might even suffer from Qi Deviation.

This was the disadvantage of not having a master or an elder.

If no one gives you any pointers, you won’t even know that you’ve taken a detour!
